Method of assembling a cordless hand-held ultrasonic cautery cutting device

A method for assembling an ultrasonic surgical assembly, the method comprising:

• providing an ultrasonic-movement-generator assembly including:
• a shell;
• an ultrasonic-driving-wave-signal generating circuit housed within the shell;
• and
• an ultrasonic transducer having:
• an ultrasonic-movement-producing distal end;
• and
• a proximal end exposed out from the shell;
• providing an ultrasonic waveguide;
• providing a handle body having:
• an ultrasonic-signal-generator assembly dock exposed to the environment and shaped to selectively removably couple the shell to the handle body;
• an ultrasonic transducer attachment dock exposed to the environment and shaped to selectively removably receive the ultrasonic transducer at the handle body;
• and
• a waveguide attachment dock housing a proximal portion of the ultrasonic waveguide and shaped to selectively removably couple the ultrasonic waveguide to the ultrasonic transducer when the shell is coupled to the ultrasonic-signal-generator assembly dock;
• substantially simultaneously:
• electrically coupling the ultrasonic-driving-wave-signal generating circuit to the ultrasonic-signal-generator assembly dock;
• and
• inserting the ultrasonic-movement-producing distal end of the ultrasonic transducer into the ultrasonic transducer attachment dock;
• rotating the ultrasonic waveguide with respect to the proximal end to couple the ultrasonic waveguide to the ultrasonic-movement-producing distal end of the ultrasonic transducer.
